Cameroon Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Ok, I know what it's supposed to do, but whenever I try to use it (testing) my squad simply goes in/out through the door (converts it into a quick order, it appears). Also, can they not go through holes that an MGS blows open? For me, they completely ignored it and went through a door under stupid amounts of fire.

JaguarUSF Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Did you click on the wall you wanted to blow up? Getting the blast command to work correctly is difficult when there are a lot of buildings or walls around you...takes some practice and precision targeting with the mouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Whenever I clicked it just put it straight inside the building. I'll try some more thou, thanks for confirming that it should work and that you click on the wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Ok, so I figured out how to blow a hole in the wall. First, that really needs to be explained in the manual and probably shown with a picture. Second, my troops will not actually use the hole that they opened, they walk around to the nearest door. Hell, when I blew the wall that had the door, they still entered through where the door was before the wall was removed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Can you explain again how you got it to work. Ive got it once but now i cant seem to get it. Ive select blast. Then select a spot clicking on the wall. But my unit just moves there and then turn it into a quick move command. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Yeah, it's not explained at all but if you click right below the wall, where it meets the ground, you'll get the movement point to be "in" the wall and that should trigger their blasting. It's definitely not the best way to do that. Personally I like this idea: you place your troops or the 2nd to last waypoint in front of the wall you want to blast, then the blast movement command inside the building. The movement line then indicates which wall will be blown. Plus, that would work easily on interior walls, too. Of course, that all assumes that your troops will use that hole - mine refuse to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 im trying it out now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Nahh no way im gettin that to work. Im clicking the lower wall so it show a brown blast line to the wall and then a globe(end waypoint) with half of it sticking out the wall. They turn it into a yellow quick move as they move to the wall. Ive now tried to click. -On the ground infront of wall. -On the ground inside the wall where wall meets ground. -On the wall. nothing of it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 I had the same trouble initially. I actually created a test scenario just to figure out how to get Blast to work. One thing I ran into was, if they only had one demo charge left, they wouldn't use it against a longer wall. Out of curiosity, will your squads go through a hole that your MGS creates? I created a test scenario to try these things out, and so far I've been able to put holes in walls with Blast and the MGS, but my squads won't use them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premierleutnant Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I have got the same problem: Moved the IFV under enemy fire to the backside of (a lonely) house, diesembarked the engineers, let them blast the wall away - and these idiots ran to the front - and into lethal fire - to use the door ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Yeah, sounds like a bug to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Same issue as Cameroon. Could we get a judge's ruling on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Have bugged it for Charles to look at...or I will, but I MUST have a saved game. Can someone send me one please. Buehler? Buehler? Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Ok Rune, I'm sending you the test scenario I've been using and 3 save games. In the save games, there are two holes blown - one by an MGS and the other by a demo charge. Squads will not go in through either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
